Vodka Red Bull (alternatively Red Bull Vodka) is a caffeinated alcoholic drink consisting of the energy drink Red Bull and varying amounts of vodka.[1]
Red Bull has been used as a general mixer in alcoholic beverages in Europe since the 1980s,[2] though not specifically with vodka. However, the drink became especially popular in the US, following its invention by Matt Pickin in the United Kingdom, when it began being served at San Francisco's Legendary Butter Bar[citation needed].[3][4]
The ratio of Red Bull to vodka varies but is usually ¾ of Red Bull and ¼ of vodka. In some places, it is customary to serve an entire can with a single shot of vodka; in others, a can may be split between several glasses, each containing several shots of vodka. The Red Bull dominates so that the flavour of the alcohol is not too strong.[5]
